1.1 About the Serial ATA interface The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary advantages include: Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options. Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation. Scalability to higher performance levels. In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial ATA was designed to allow you to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disk drive in your current system and expect all of your existing applications to work as normal. The Serial ATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship with Serial ATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both masters on two separate ports. This essentially means both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices. Note. The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two devices on separate Serial ATA ports are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and Device 1 (slave) accessed at the same set of host bus addresses. A host adapter that emulates a master/slave environment manages two sets of shadow registers. This is not a typical Serial ATA environment. The Serial ATA host adapter and drive share the function of emulating parallel ATA device behavior to provide backward compatibility with existing host systems and software. The Command and Control Block registers, PIO and DMA data transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated. The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred to as the Shadow Register Block. All Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how Serial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to the Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA Revision 2.6. The specification can be downloaded from www.sata-io.org. 2 Video 3.5 HDD Product Manual, Rev. J

All times are measured using drive diagnostics. The specifications in the table below are defined as follows: Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions. Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead. Typical seek times (ms) Read Write Track-to-track <1.0 <1.2 Average <14.0 <15.0 *Measured in performance mode. **Measured in quiet mode. Note. These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet the noted values. However, due to the manner in which these drives are formatted, benchmark tests that include command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results that vary from these specifications. 2.7 Start/stop times Start/stop times (s) 1000GB models 500, 320, 250 and 160GB models Power-on to Ready (typical) <12.0 <6.0 Standby to Ready (typical) <12.0 <6.0 Ready to spindle stop (max.) 10 Video 3.5 HDD Product Manual, Rev.

2.8 Power specifications The drive receives DC power (5V or 12V) through a native SATA power connector. Refer to Figure 2 on page 22. 2.8.1 Power consumption Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 9. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using 5V and 12V input voltage at 25 C ambient temperature. Spinup power Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed. Idle mode power Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to speed, with servo electronics active and with the heads in a random track location. Operating (CE seek profile) Operating power is measured by simulating a typical PVR operating environment, using a 50% write, 50% read algorithm. Standby mode During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not spinning, and the servo and read/ write electronics are in power-down mode. Table 4: DC power requirements Power dissipation (2 disk models) Avg (watts 25 C) Avg 5V typ. amps Avg 12V typ. amps Spinup 2.0 (peak) Idle* 3.834 0.223 0.226 Operating 4.107 0.295 0.219 Standby 0.699 0.121 0.008 Sleep 0.699 0.121 0.008 Power dissipation (1 disk models) Avg (watts 25 C) Avg 5V typ. amps Avg 12V typ. amps Spinup 2.0 (peak) Idle* 3.008 0.248 0.147 Operating 3.445 0.316 0.155 Standby 0.707 0.127 0.006 Sleep 0.707 0.127 0.006 *During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels. Note. Drive supports PHY layer power management. When enabled, a power savings of ~300mw can be achieved in Idle, Standby and Sleep modes. 12 Video 3.5 HDD Product Manual, Rev. J

2.8.1.1 Typical current profiles Figure 1. Typical 12V startup and operation current profile 2.8.2 Conducted noise Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the 12V line or an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the 5V line. Using 12V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10MHz. Using 5V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10MHz. Note. Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current. 2.8.3 Voltage tolerance Voltage tolerance (including noise): 5V ± 5% 12V ± 10% Video 3.5 HDD Product Manual, Rev. J 13

2.8.4 Power management modes The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems, you can control power management through the system setup program. The drive features the following power-management modes: Power modes Heads Spindle Buffer Active Tracking Rotating Enabled Idle Tracking Rotating Enabled Standby Parked Stopped Enabled Sleep Parked Stopped Disabled Active mode The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations. Idle mode The buffer remains enabled, and the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disk access is necessary. Standby mode The drive enters Standby mode when the host sends a Standby Immediate command. If the host has set the standby timer, the drive can also enter Standby mode automatically after the drive has been inactive for a specifiable length of time. The standby timer delay is established using a Standby or Idle command. In Standby mode, the drive buffer is enabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disk access is necessary. Sleep mode The drive enters Sleep mode after receiving a Sleep command from the host. In Sleep mode, the drive buffer is disabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive leaves Sleep mode after it receives a Hard Reset or Soft Reset from the host. After receiving a reset, the drive exits Sleep mode and enters Standby mode with all current translation parameters intact. Idle and Standby timers Each time the drive performs an Active function (read, write or seek), the standby timer is reinitialized and begins counting down from its specified delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before any drive activity is required, the drive makes a transition to Standby mode. In both Idle and Standby mode, the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disk access is necessary. 14 Video 3.5 HDD Product Manual, Rev. J

2.10 Acoustics emissions Drive emission of sound is measured consistent with the ECMA-74 and its referenced standards. Testing is conducted at room temperature (approximately 25 degrees C). Emission levels are reported as the total A-weighted sound power levels for, steady state, idle and active (seek) modes of operations. Table 5: Drive A-weighted Sound Power Levels (SWL, BA) 1000GB models 500, 320, 250 and 160GB models Idle [1] 2.1 bels (typ.) 2.3 bels (max.) 1.9 bels (typ.) 2.1 bels (max.) CE seek profile 2.4 bels (typ.) 2.5 bels (max.) 2.3 bels (typ.) 2.4 bels (max.) [1] During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels. Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs) Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this process is the use of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses the lower limit for the threshold curve* to discern tone audibility and to compensate for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone ratios according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards. * Defined as the median curve given by ISO 389-7 (Tf curve) minus 10dB at all frequencies. 2.11 Electromagnetic immunity When properly installed in a representative host system, the drive operates without errors or degradation in performance when subjected to the radio frequency (RF) environments defined in the following table: Table 6: Radio frequency environments Test Description Performance level Reference standard Electrostatic discharge Contact, HCP, VCP: ± 4 kv; Air: ± 8 kv B EN61000-4-2: 95 Radiated RF immunity 80 to 1,000MHz, 3V/m, 80% AM with 1kHz sine 900MHz, 3V/m, 50% pulse modulation @ 200Hz A EN61000-4-3: 96 ENV50204: 95 Electrical fast ± 1kV on AC mains, ± 0.5kV on external I/O B EN61000-4-4: 95 transient Surge immunity ± 1kV differential, ± 2kV common, AC mains B EN61000-4-5: 95 Conducted RF immunity Voltage dips, interrupts 150kHz to 80MHz, 3Vrms, 80% AM with 1kHz sine A EN61000-4-6: 97 0% open, 5 seconds 0% short, 5 seconds 40%, 0.10 seconds 70%, 0.01 seconds C C C B EN61000-4-11: 94 Video 3.5 HDD Product Manual, Rev.

2.14 Environmental protection Seagate designs its products to meet environmental protection requirements worldwide, including regulations restricting certain chemical substances. 2.14.1 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, restricts the presence of chemical substances, including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBB and PBDE, in electronic products, effective July 2006. This drive is manufactured with components and materials that comply with the RoHS Directive. 2.14.2 China Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive This product has an Environmental Protection Use Period (EPUP) of 20 years. The following table contains information mandated by China's "Marking Requirements for Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products" Standard. "O" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is lower than the threshold defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard. "X" indicates the hazardous and toxic substance content of the part (at the homogenous material level) is over the threshold defined by the China RoHS MCV Standard. 2.15 Corrosive environment Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment. Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulcanized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives. 20 Video 3.5 HDD Product Manual, Rev. J

3.0 Configuring and mounting the drive This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive. 3.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions: Caution: Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout the entire installation procedure. Handle the drive by its edges or frame only. The drive is extremely fragile handle it with care. Do not press down on the drive top cover. Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until you mount it in the computer. Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board. Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them with additional labels. Removal voids the warranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination. Video 3.5 HDD Product Manual, Rev. J 21

3.2 Configuring the drive Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects point-to-point with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationship. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both masters on two separate ports. Both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices. Serial ATA drives are designed for easy installation. It is not necessary to set any jumpers on the drive for proper operation; however, if you connect the drive and receive a drive not detected error, your SATA equipped motherboard or host adapter may use a chipset that does not support SATA speed auto negotiation. If you have a motherboard or host adapter that does not support auto negotiation the transfer rate can be limited to 1.5GB/s via the SMART Command Transport command. 3.3 Serial ATA cables and connectors The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus three ground connections. The cable size may be 30 to 26 AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 inches). Refer to Table 7 for connector pin definitions. Either end of the SATA signal cable can be attached to the drive or host. For direct backplane connection, the drive connectors are inserted directly into the host receptacle. The drive and the host receptacle incorporate features that enable the direct connection to be hot pluggable and blind mateable. For installations which require cables, you can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 2. Signal connector Power connector Signal cable Power cable Figure 2. Attaching SATA cabling Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Pipeline HD.2 Series SATA drives support latching SATA connectors. 22 Video 3.5 HDD Product Manual, Rev. J

3.4 Drive mounting You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. Refer to Figure 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive: Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling. Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws. The screws should be inserted no more than 0.150 inches (3.81mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes. Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 inch-lb). Recommended case temperature measurement location Figure 3.
